In the stillness of the night, I lie awake,
A mind adrift in a sea of endless thought,
The weight of worthlessness, a heavy ache,
In a world where I feel so distraught.

The mirror shows a face, but not the soul,
A fractured image of a life once bright,
The shadows whisper secrets, taking toll,
On a heart that struggles in the silent night.

I search for meaning in the eyes I meet,
Hoping to find a spark, a light, a clue,
But in their gaze, reflections incomplete,
Only echoes of my doubts, they too are blue.

Yet in this darkness, a truth I must find,
For even in despair, a lesson grows,
Worth is not in the eyes, but in the mind,
A journey inward, where true value shows.
